PowerCom has developed a module for retrofitting inside existing gas meters. It is designed for counting pulses, wirelessly transmitting data and remotely closing the valve to disconnect supply. It is allows the flexibility of upgrading existing gas meters into the most advanced smart gas meter system. The upgrade unit combines state-of-the-art communications, internal batteries, all integrated and sealed in a single housing. The meter hosts either long-range two-way fixed network unlicensed RF or GPRS communications. The upgrade module can be retrofitted into any existing standard gas meter.

The PowerCom Smart Ultrasonic Gas Meter comply to MID-2004/22/EC, with replaceable RF/GRPS communication module and internal shutoff valve.
These Smart Meters can operate in the prepayment/credit mode allowing automatic money charging. The interval valve can connect/disconnect the customers upon a command from the central office software or in cases where the credit has been consumed.
These Smart Gas Meters are a part of Powercom’s full Smart Grid Solution.
